Deputy Prime Minister Dalibor Jevtic visited families that were searched by the special police unit ROSU based on a notification of a possible weapons smuggling, reports KIM radio.

Jevtic told local residents that there was no reason for fear, adding that this case had no inter-ethnic connotation.

Head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić confirmed this morning that Gradimir Mikić, Mayor of Ranilug/Ranillug, the municipality with Serbian majority in Kosovo, has been arrested and later released.

Đurić said that he was arrested only because he had in his vehicle 1,000 pre-election posters with the image of Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić.

Ranilug Mayor Gradimir Mikić says that the municipality will comply with the agreement with the Office for Kosovo and Metohija about the start of formation of the Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO) by the political leaders of Serbs from Kosovo on 15 February by their own initiative, if it occurs.
